Blacks started the slave trade. White slave traders basically just went there to pick up slaves and leave. They weren't capturing slaves or even really setting foot in Africa. Every slave sold was done so because an African enslaved and sold his fellow black man.

After slavery ended many blacks returned to found Liberia, which had a thriving slave trade until about 1990 IIRC. Freed slaves sought to have slaves of their own as a sign of success. One of the largest slave traders in America was a freed slave.

Without black people selling black slaves, white men would have no way to purchase them. They sure as heck weren't going to venture into the jungle with butterfly nets.

Slavery exists today as well in Asia and other places. Sex slave trading continues to this day, even in America where a couple here on Long Island was recently caught. To try to pin anything on only white people is bigoted, and equally ignorant of history and facts.

Blacks didn't start the slave trade and they sure as hell didn't create Liberia, and I love that you just said this.

I'm not trying to be rude, but did you honestly just make all of this up? Do some research on colonization from Spain, Portugal, and the American colonization society.

i know right? and when adidas comes out with a shoe that has shackles on it then that b!tching is justified. it's like black people hold the monopoly on slavery equipment bitching. poor , poor black people.

Honestly, the only thing that bothers me about stuff like this is the double standard. I could care less if blacks, latinos, etc express their hatred of whites. If they are going to dish it out though, they should be able to take it in return, which they cannot. They are the ones perpetuating a problem that they complain about, which is ironic.

Anti-white bigotry has become embedded in our postmodern culture. Take Django Unchained. The movie boils down to one central theme: the white man as devil—a moral scourge who must be eradicated like a lethal virus. For decades, Hollywood, U.S. textbooks and higher education have stressed that America was founded upon slavery, sexism and genocide. In other words, white European civilization is the root of evil and imperial subjugation around the world.

Sounds about right

What are they b1tching about again?

sorry, but the reason American slave owners are brought into constant question, is because they were the first to bring into the world institutional racism. Sorry, American slave owners may have been the worst of the slave owners. Remember Nat Turner? Lol, silly white boy.

Seriously? Maybe hop off the "evil white Americans" bandwagon that's popular in several history departments and learn something real.

Check out the Hindu Caste system, the Arab spread through North Africa, and the Reconquista, for starters. Next read up about the anti-Semitic history of Europe.

Also, look even farther back to the Greek city states. They had some interesting views on superiority and inferiority.

While nothing excuses American slavery, it's a stretch to claim that it's the worst thing to ever happen to the world. Like Chase said, slavery existed in the world long before America.

Calm down bro. I am very familiar with all but the Hindu Caste system. The Reconquista, the spread of Islam in Africa had nothing to do with what we are talking about. And anti-semitism in early europe doesn't have anything to do with race. Sorry bud.

Also, I don't "hate the evil white Americans." For one, I fvcking love America and as a halfie, I pride my white side. Although it isn't American white, but English white, which as we know is more pearlescent and glittery.

The Reconquista was definitely a period of institutionalized racism in the Iberian peninsula, and anti-semitism is about discrimination of people of Hebrew descent, not just Jews.

As for North Africa and the Arabs, not sure how you can say you know about the spread of the caliphates without understanding that they also had periods of institutionalized racism. Against whites, against Turks, and against light-skinned Africans, among others.

The Hindu caste system has been evidenced in writings from as far back as the second century A.D.
